I don't want to call the show [ "Mary and Jane" ] a satire because it is not, but there are satirical elements.

When we were done and not picked up to series yet, they wanted us to read lots of writers. I was like, "No." Then we finally were picked up. It is hard not to start thinking of story lines. It is like doodling.

We did want it ["Mary and Jane"] to feel a little different and have some surreal weird touches, which we try to do every episode. That is what we took advantage of.

I don't think we had a hard time with ["Mary and Jane"]. It is just, it was the constant management of it.

It is just fun to play with [in "Mary and Jane"]. I think our sense of humor tends to go that way.

We ["Mary and Jane"] did not want to be a weed show, like it is a bunch of people sitting around smoking.

We like to make sure there is a plot at the center of it and that you care about the people but to poke fun of little things, like the toast restaurant in the pilot.
